I've been busy playing with Python 3K at home. It seems to
be nice though I haven't dug deep enough / far enough to
notice real changes outside of the 'print' statement changes.

In other work, I'm managing to tame wxPython again and am
producing a consistent and simple interface for importing
data from different sources (databases, spreadsheets, text
files). It could form the basis of a data manager, but it's
all for the statistics program which is itself coming along.

The program has an interactive interpreter which is fun:
it's all based on Python's 'code' module and I've organised
it so that users can import data with awkward field names
(like: 'Variable (1) & Variable (2) mixed'), and they can
still be used on the command line, thus:

Variable (1) & Variable (2) mixed.mean

Not a big change, but it's one less thing to explain to
demanding users. The work on the main GUI is still ongoing
(choosing a test is the hardest thing) but we're getting there.

The thing will be released under the Affero GPL license so
it's even relevant to this site.

In administration things, I managed to get some more
marketing research done (all promising but lots of things to
think about), and the company is getting closer to being
officially founded. It's all very exciting stuff.

I have a questionnaire here if anyone feels like completing
it: it should take about 5-10 minutes and concerns people
who use computers to perform statistical analysis. I cannot
offer any money in return (we have zero investment - any
offers will be carefully considered!), but it would be
extremely helpful in getting open source to the top.

The questionnaire is at Survey
Monkey. TIA to anyone who completes it.
